Chapter 28
Xiaolan goes to the mouth of the Magic Palm Gully to herd sheep every day. By the way, she delivers grain and vegetables to Yanqiu and Yulong. She also cooks Chinese medicine for Yanqiu and washes and changes gauze. The Browning Bird's Nest is a small pistol, and it has been used by Yanqiu to teach her how to shoot a gun. The Browning Bird is a very good choice for a new generation of people who are looking for a better way of life," he said.
Today she came back very late. It was so dark that I couldn't touch the tip of the whip before I drove the sheep into the village. She carried back twenty to thirty pheasants and rabbits. The magic palm ditch is really a treasure ditch, countless birds and animals, covered in the sky. At first, Yulong shot them with a gun, but in order to save bullets, she used stones. The birds and beasts have become more refined, at the sight of Yulong waving his arm, they run and fly away. Yulong has a method, the birds live in the bushes and stone holes, once dark, Yulong will learn to call the birds, the birds echo each other, he will know where there is a nest. He used a large piece of cloth to cover the bush, and the birds were captured alive. This kind of trophy piled up a hole full of mouth, Yanqiu they can not eat it all, Xiaolan back to the back.
Yulong also took advantage of the darkness and Lan has returned to the village. He and Yanqiu together, just rely on one or two people to fight the Japanese can not. The first is that the two of them have been working together for a long time, and they have been working together for a long time, and they have been working together for a long time, and they have been working together for a long time, and they have been working together for a long time. Yulong came back, is to find two dogs, Feifei, two carpenters and their discussion.
Xiaolan picked the fattest pheasant and brought it to Ergou's house.
Tao Tao had just eaten dinner and was pulling out her teeth with a mat piece. The two dogs are lying on the bed with their bellies facing the sky.
Xiaolan said: "Tao Tao, today I am lucky, set a few pheasants, to bring you a taste. Erdog usually always gives us wild game as soon as it is retrieved, we are really embarrassed."
"Then you are too kind, sister-in-law! The Cow family counts you as having a good heart!" Tao Tao said. "The Cow family are all good people!" Erdog sat up and disagreed with Tao Tao.
Xiaolan smiled and said to Erdog, "Erdog, I ran into Wang Wuwa from Zhonggou Village while herding sheep, and he said that your uncle is
sick, and sent a message for you to go and see him now!" As she said this, she pinched Erdog's big feet. The second dog understood, and his ass slipped and went down to the ground.
Yulong's five or six kowtowing little brothers, one by one, sneaked into Xiaolan's house. Xiaolan let them all into the inner room, the curtains pulled a tight, from the outside to lock the door, they began to chatter, plotting the team.
In the Niu family compound, there are only Xiaolan and crazy second aunt left. Today, as soon as the sun set, Niu Laobian led the family into the mouth of the Yinling ditch. Because Zhu Yin Yang revealed some of his insights into the underworld, the village people were in an uproar. They were all shocked by the displacement of their ancestors due to the sins of the Japanese. These days, the villagers have asked paper makers to make halls and courtyards and go to the mouth of the netherworld to burn them for the ancestors to live in. This thing the cow family did the day before yesterday, suddenly remembered that the ancestors houses collapsed, I guess the clothes are also very short, they redo a batch of paper clothes, today is to send clothes to the ancestors.
Xiaolan, on the matter of ghosts and gods, originally believed in a moment of disbelief for a while, but recently believed up. Zhu Yin Yang to the crazy second aunt fortune-telling, said her daughter Jingjing suffered a great disaster, this is the Yulong witnessed, no God no ghost can be calculated so accurately? So Xiaolan faded the wild game, washed and washed, selected two, waiting for Yingchun back to parents sent to the Yinling ditch, so that the ancestors also improve their lives.
Xiaolan picked out three more wild game. One for Mr. Zhang, I heard that day, his old man in front of the Japanese proud bones, to the village people long ambition, who said he is a man. Another one was for Zhu Yin Yang, who had been sick on his bed for three days because of the Japanese, so he wanted to give him some game to replenish his health. The third one is for Yuzan. Since Fenfulai started the storm, Yuzan's character has changed, she doesn't go out of the house, as if she has done something shameful. These days, I heard that Yulong went on a blind date, but also in the bed lying down, tea do not think, do not want to eat, not moving to shed tears. She has feelings for Yulong, but it's a pity that Yulong and she don't share the same fate. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm going to be able to do it!
Luwa sat on the pot, hand biting the finger, hoping that his mother quickly cooked the game. Luwa's wounds are set hard scars, can walk slowly.
"Luwa, you can walk, give mom something." Lan said. "Mom, I'm afraid that my grandparents will scold me! They won't let me go out." Luwa said. "Not afraid, you're a man, grow up strong. Learn from your father's bones, learn from Old Mr. Zhang's guts, get hurt a little afraid
What!" Xiaolan encouraged, put three wild game in a thin wicker woven basket, and went to help his son down to the ground.
At this moment, Yingchun entered the door. A hand held Luwa on the bed, complained Xiaolan said: "sister-in-law, you crazy?"
Xiaolan also complained to Yingchun: "Where are you crazy? Quickly send these two pheasants to the Yinling ditch!"
"Sister-in-law! Mom and Dad killed two chickens and have already made offerings to the ancestors. You can go to the Yinling ditch and see that it's full of offerings. Chickens, sheep, and some people have killed their laying hens, and they don't even want to eat them, so they let the ghosts eat them." Yingchun some pity.
"You shouldn't talk nonsense!" Lan warned Yingchun, "folks tossed under the eyes of the ghosts, they did not shoot?" Yingchun said, "No, the folks were outnumbered, shouting curses with their necks out, and the Japanese and the forgeries were still at the mouth of the ditch
watching the red heat." "When are they going to make trouble?" Lan asked.
"Zhu yinyang and down the yin, the chicken can only come back, come back to know." "Yo, that mom and dad do not come back overnight?" "The whole village is kneeling a black night."
Xiaolan heart fell happy. Because Yulong they discuss the establishment of the team, just to avoid mom and dad. The first thing I want to do is to make sure that I have a good understanding of what is going on in my life, and I want to make sure that I have a good understanding of what is going on in my life. In the end, Yingchun's brain is almost, although reluctant, finally agreed.
The drums at the mouth of the Yinling ditch filled the ditch, and the sound of the treble oboe drilled into people's ears like a cone. The whole village of a hundred or so families, each family held a paper burning ceremony to honor the tribute are blowing a while drum maker. There is nothing red-hot in the countryside, except for the New Year's Eve cannon, is to marry a daughter-in-law to bury the dead when the drummer class. This rare hustle and bustle, almost the whole village are attracted to go.
The game is cooked. Xiaolan first gave Luwa enough to eat, then sent him to bed. She used two pillows in front of her son's face, and gently put a large quilt over his head, Xiaolan was afraid that he would hear or see Yulong and the others coming and going.
It seems that Yulong and the others are talking quite passionately. What is said inside, can not hear, low voice pressure, Xiaolan put his head out of the door, to the sky to see, the sky of the "Sen" has crossed the sheep pen birch top. Once the "sen" passed the birch top, it was midnight. Xiaolan was so tired that she sat down at the stove and fell asleep. In her sleep, she was suddenly awakened by a sharp woman's voice. Carefully identify, is the lower yard two dogs daughter-in-law Tao Tao do not know who is scolding.
After Xiaolan sent that pheasant to Tao Tao, Tao Tao put it in the outer room. She heard that her husband, Erdog, went to Zhongtan Village to see his uncle, and had to come back at least by midnight, or else it would be tomorrow, so her heart itched again. She since that time and Qiaoqiao fight, did not take advantage of, has been harboring a breath, she is determined to pull Jinlong's heart from Qiaoqiao, well let this vixen holding a jar to drink vinegar. She has already made an appointment with Jinlong, if the first opportunity, Tao Tao will hang a red shirt on the back pot tree in the yard, Jinlong can feel free to enter the house. Just now it was already dark, hanging what Jinlong would not see, so the second plan was taken. Just throw a stone to the roof of the Golden Dragon's house, the roof of the "thud" a sound, the Golden Dragon will know what is going on. She picked a stone and threw it, and the effect was very effective. Tao Tao and Jinlong have not been red hot for a long time, as soon as they met, they hugged each other, rolled over and over on the kang, rolled sweaty, panting, the two began to do that kind of hookups. Qiaoqiao is usually afraid of Jinlong outside obscenity, almost every day to allow him to get free, scrotum has long been empty as a deflated bag, a moment can not wrap up. And Tao Tao is just the right amount of energy, limbs cramps, screaming kang sound a burst than a burst of exuberance. Near the climax, she was defiantly "ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh". When Tao Tao shouted like this, she startled Old Five of the Cow Family. The old five from the upper courtyard ran down, into the Tao Tao's outer room, saw the fat and big pheasant, a mouthful of grips ran into the distance, slowly enjoy go.
Peach Peach finished that thing, sent away Jinlong. The golden dragon is afraid of Qiaoqiao go back to ask questions, so into the Yinling ditch to watch the fun. Tao Tao was going to give that pheasant shedding, only to realize that just now only focus on the red fire, the pheasant disappeared. She then ran out of the yard, cursing whoever stole her pheasant, and after eating it, she guaranteed that it would rot from her belly to her skin, and from her mouth to her asshole.......
Xiaolan heard Tao Tao's cursing, and opened the door to go out and see what was going on. Once outside, outside the window of the room where Yulong had his meeting, there were three people lying on their backs, eavesdropping. Xiaolan yelled out, "Who?"
This shout, the three people to Xiaolan forced over, threatened to say: "Do not say anything, inside what people?" "What are you three?" Xiaolan deliberately raised her voice, and stated that it was three people.
Yulong and the others were startled by Xiaolan's shout. There were eight big backwoodsmen in them, and knowing that there were only three people outside, they split into two. Four people out of the outer room, four people ran out of the window, both sides of the sandwich surrounded the three people captured alive. The first interrogation, it is three pseudo-military.
The Japanese sent them to detect whether Du Yanqiu and Niu Yulong returned to the village.
These three people stood with their heads bowed in front of the wall of Xiaolan's outer room, and the virtues were more funny than one another. In the middle of this is called Zhang Xiaosan, face profile like cattle old bolt often take off to beat people's big shoes sole, a pair of gray small eyes above is messy grass like hair. His military cap is fastened on his head, two circles bigger than his head, don't want the two straps on the cap, the second level breeze will blow the cap to the sky. This guy is very flexible, say a word, bend a little, nod his head and say, "Little buddy, we're here to answer an errand!" Everyone ignored him, and he ingratiated himself to Xiao Lan: "Great aunt, you believe us, all from poor families!"
Another pseudo-military, is a thin monkey. Holding a military cap in his hand, his left sleeve is wiped on his big arm, and his right sleeve is wiped on his small arm, and he looks like a second-rate beggar plus hooligan species. Zhang Xiaosan nodded his head, he nodded twice, Zhang Xiaosan called big aunt, he followed and called big grandmother.
Only one of the pseudo-military smooth point. He is a very beautiful young man. Not more than twenty years old, has a rosy round face, long hair by sweat on his forehead, his eyes are round and black, bright, keen, bold
timid and shy, like a girl, no matter who look, he is a little like, how to see is not like a bad person look. His name is Li Dong.
Yulong they just had a meeting to repeatedly emphasize to be brave, to be bold, to be united, the meeting is not yet dispersed, captured the enemy, the first time to feel the power of unity, the first time to taste the flavor of the enemy captured alive. Especially captured three Japanese three-eighths rifles, each with a heart of gold. A few people fiddled with the gun, scrambling to their arms, who did not think of these few prisoners in the end what to do.
Yulong is obliged to assume the responsibility of the leader. He usually no matter what he deals with, always bring a little different approach and comedy effect. He shouted, "Attention!"
The three pseudo-military then stood at attention in a crooked manner.
Yulong kicked Zhang Xiaosan's buttocks, and he kneeled down in front of everyone as if he was suffering from chondromalacia.
This action immediately inspired the group's energy, the original appearance of the vicious pseudo-military, but actually so some bears.
Yulong shy belly, forked waist, showing a kind of prestige, apparently to the brothers to encourage, sternly shouted: "What is your name!"
"Brothers, we are good people na!" Zhang Xiaosan defended himself and his companions, "My nickname is Frozen Tofu because of my long wrinkled face."
"Ask for your real name." Jade Dragon's face was grim, "Stand up and say it." "No, bro!" He stood up bewildered and choked, "Growing up without a father or mother, I grew up eating a hundred meals. My company commander's last name was Zhang when I was a soldier, and I took his last name. People call me Zhang Xiaosan." "The company's management has been working on a number of new projects, including the development of a new product.
Yulong did not laugh, asked: "How did you join the ranks of traitors?" "Japan occupied our Northeast, see the woman on the spoils, see the man on the capture, do not follow the walk on the fight, cut, to shoot ah! At that time, the village could not even get a drink of cold water, so I followed the pseudo-army and ran here." As he spoke, he blew a handful of snot and bent down to wipe it on the toe of his shoe. At this time, everyone noticed that he was wearing a pair of half-new old black shoes, the toe and heel of the shoes are coated with a thick layer of dried snot, slightly shiny.
The skinny monkey and called Li Dong also hung his head, tears and eggs split from the face rolled down. Anyone who looked at it was a bit pitiful.
"You as traitors, and have the face to cry?" Yulong scolded. "We are soldiers are to fill the stomach, we also hate the Japanese, they do not move to beat us, look at our body, which person does not have ten or eight whip wounds?" Zhang Xiaosan choked and angrily clenched his teeth while looking at Yulong with fearful eyes.
Yulong began to say, "You immediately roll back to the Yinling Gully, report to the Japanese, say that the oil ass colluded with the bandits to rob your guns, if anyone leaks out that it was the people of the Niujia Village who seized your guns, I will gelatinize all of your egg blisters, do you hear me?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The three men nodded their heads at the same time and promised. "Speak up!" Yulong ordered. "Yes! YES! Yes!" The three men's voices were an octave higher.
"Good then!" Yulong turned his head and said to Xiaolan, "Sister-in-law, bring our axe, and bring that wooden pier for chopping bones as well."
"What for?" Xiaolan flashed her big eyes. "Before they leave, they have to leave some souvenirs. Each person chopped them a finger, the one that pulls the trigger. Go get it!" The three pseudo-military heard, "flop" kneeled down, kowtowing and praying.
Yulong said, "It's useless! This is the lightest, otherwise, you will take the gun to hit us people again!"
Zhang Xiaosan saw Xiaolan's heart is soft, kneeling in front of her, said: "Great aunt, please ......"
Xiaolan pulled up Zhang Xiaosan, said: "Get up, do not be like this! Am I that old?"
She turned her face to Yulong and said, "Yulong, you can't be too black-hearted! Let them take an oath not to harm others."
Yulong shook his head, "Sister-in-law, this kind of gray skin, the dog can change to eat shit?" Xiaolan did not move the wooden pier, did not go to get the axe, she pulled Yulong behind the door, quietly muttering, want to let Yulong hand soft point. Yulong just became a leader, made such a decision was rejected by the sister-in-law, face can not come down, still unforgiving, said: "Sister-in-law! You do not need to persuade, where is the axe?"
Li Dong see is not arguing, then put out his hand, said to Yulong: "Little uncle, you just chop it! We also deserve to be chopped, but we have no choice but to become soldiers!"
Erdog is a simple man, see this child is also quite poor, said to Yulong: "Yulong, let them chop the oil butt a finger can not? I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm going to be able to do it, and I'm going to be able to do it.
Everyone heard this and said in unison that it was a good move. Xiaolan touched Li Dong's head and said, "I won't chop you up, but listen to your great aunt, don't harm the people in the future!"
The three pseudo-military again pounded like garlic kowtowed half a day, and was released. The three rifles left behind, the group began to fight. You want to grab, he wants to grab, the jade dragon scared out of a cold sweat, not careful, fire killed ah! He put all the rifles in his arms and said, "No one will issue these rifles. All exist in the magic palm ditch, you enter the ditch every day at dawn to practice target shooting, within half a month, I guarantee that each person will give you a, but must be kept secret, mom's old man is also not allowed to say!
People are not waiting for dawn, followed by Yulong, overnight into the magic palm ditch to go.
The first time I saw him was when he was in the hospital, and he was in the hospital with his wife. In the past, Xiaolan went to sleep at this time. Because the second day of hemp bright will have to get up, the garden of the small cabbage watered, the urine pots in each house poured, and then to the pigs, sheep, donkeys, chickens opened the early morning. The first thing you need to do is to get the money to pay for it.
Tonight, Xiaolan amorously gave Taotao a pheasant, leading to such a big harvest, surrendered three guns, and saved three people, she has never done such a big thing in her life. So she was too excited, too excited. She pulled back the covers, blocked the window with a cloth curtain, lying on the pillow, quietly took out the Browning pistol and aimed at the lid of the underground can, and kept pulling the trigger, the "popping" sound, clear and loud, pleasant to the ear, shocked her heart "thumping", her heart "thumping", and she was very excited. The sound of the "snap" was so loud and clear that it made her heart pound, and her two feet stood up from the back of her head, and she kept knocking at each other in a graceful manner, as innocent and cute as a little girl.
She could not tell why she loved the gun so much. This gun is exquisite and beautiful, so that she was instantly down to earth. This innate goodness of the body of the daughter, usually afraid of causing trouble, all aspects of thoughtful, outward aggression or attack, she only holds the psychology of prevention, really can not avoid, she can only compromise and give in. Now has a gun, she can speak and do things justifiably, the gun has strengthened her courage, give her a big long life of courage. Now she can see, the Japanese will not go for a while, not to go and the people will be long-term friction, according to this situation now, war is inevitable, no weapons in hand, can not live. Although Yamamoto Shiro and the Japanese doctor saved his son's life, but the whole of Japan's people across the mountains across the sea to China to Hu toss, which is greatly unethical. The Chinese should eliminate them to eliminate them. But she believes that the Japanese also have good people, just like the cattle village, there are good people, there are gray people, oil ass is gray people. Regardless of China or Japan, there is kindness to be repaid and revenge to be avenged. This kind of realization is becoming clearer and clearer in her head. So she valued the weight of this gun more than anything else.
Yingchun quietly slipped back. The village people are still kneeling there, to the ancestors burn paper offerings kowtow and pray. The company's main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers. Yingchun has had some doubts in her mind for the past two days. Her sister-in-law is always putting herself out there, and she is a bit sneaky. So she took advantage of the confusion and went back to the village. She saw from afar that the windows of her sister-in-law's house were blocked with black holes, and the light coming out from a few cracks just revealed that there was a ghost in her house. She used her tongue to lick open the eye of a linen window and looked in, ah, Xiaolan holding a pistol is lying on the pillow, aiming at the ground. She is a calm girl, a bladder and carried the door hitch open. Lan had hidden the pistol under her pillow and blamed Yingchun for her recklessness. Yingchun pouted and yelled, "Sister-in-law, when have I ever wronged you? And yet you bury your head in the sand with me, you ......"
"What is it?" Lan tried to pretend for a moment. Yingchun violently stuck her hand under the pillow and drew out the pistol, pointing it at her sister-in-law and asking, "What's this? Where did you get it? Why did you hide it from me?"
At this time, there was the sound of footsteps in the courtyard. Xiaolan blew out the light and hugged Yingchun, saying, "Don't worry, I'll tell you slowly, there are people outside, don't let them hear you."
The two whispered in the darkness.
The two whispered in the darkness.
